I you need to have your neurologist talk to you psychiatrist . That is the safest thing to do.

You need to have your neurologist to talk to your therapist. They can discuss what is or isn't safe to take with your seizure meds.

I too was shocked when my doctor mentioned me taking the physcotic meds! But it's one of the best things Iv done regarding my epilepsy!
